INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — A Missouri school district voted Tuesday evening to adopt a four-day school week starting in fall 2023.
The decision marks the first time Independence School District will make such a switch, according to Superintendent Dr. Dale Herl.
The average salary for a public elementary or high school teacher in Missouri decreased by around 5% between 1969 and 2020, and over 6% between 2009 and 2020, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics. "I think it's a combination of things. It's everything from compensation to work-life balance to the amount of time it takes to be a teacher," Herl said, adding that he's noticed Missouri universities have also graduated fewer education students as well.
The four-day schedule would apply to over 14,000 K-12 students in Independence School District, a suburban district east of Kansas City and students in early education programs will be unaffected. According to Herl, there has been a mixed reaction to the upcoming change with teachers showing support while some parents remain hesitant.
